I really think that contest should be closed to new users. I feel bad for contest holder like Brand Fanatics who've so much clipart entries. It's too much.

We also have no ideas of the integrity of their work -- vector, etc.

Perhaps new users should upload and get approved a certain # of logos to the store before they are able to enter contests?

ROCKADERO™'s picture

I thought the same ! Looking through it's littered with clipart

Phunkmonster's picture

We really need a report violation button!

Spintherism's picture

+1 on the idea of some approved store logos before being able to enter contests.

That would be great, except the clients will receive too few ideas. But we sure need some sort of better control.

This appears to be one of those rare cases where a stock vector designer is recycling his designs as logos (or vice versa). The main problem is that there is no way to know how many downloads were made on that particular website. By the way, several logos were removed from this user's SL profile four months ago: http://stocklogos.com/topic/help-us-find-logos-may-violate-site-rules-part-15#comment-77389

admin's picture

It's the same person on both sites. I will ask him to pull his work from http://www.123rf.com ASAP.

Spintherism's picture

I doubt it is the same person in all four accounts, unless the SL account is one of those "group accounts" we've seen in the past. Take a look at their respective portfolios:

1) ankurpatil (Bhopal, India) in depostiphotos: http://depositphotos.com/portfolio-1031135.html
2) a4patil in 123rf: http://www.123rf.com/profile_a4patil
3) anelina (Russian Federation) in 123rf: http://www.123rf.com/profile_anelina
4) DesignWorld in SL: http://stocklogos.com/user/designworld

Plus, even if it is the same person on all four accounts, there is no way to know how many times these designs have been downloaded on 123rf and depositphotos. The butterfily, for example, has been viewed 118 times in 7 months, was there any download? We can't know for sure. So, pulling the designs from those websites is not a solution. SL can not guarantee complete exclusivity in these cases.

Peace,

Spintherism.

admin's picture

The emails are matching. That's why I thought it's the same. But I agree with you guys that we can't guarantee the exclusivity after all.

NancyCarterDesign's picture

The butterfly is Ankurpatil | Ankur in India

The tetrahedrons is anelina from Russia

The sold circles is a4patil ...

How are these the same person as designworld?

Why would you sell designs that have already been for sale as clipart?

LogoLedger's picture

By the way - just saw the exact same butterfly on Facebook: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/gilowyn/slbutterfly.jpg

I have a couple awesome illustrations that were on iStock for a short while. Two of them sold once.... you know how much it HURTS to not be able to sell that one as an exclusive logo anymore? But somewhere out there, some unknown client has the vectors... bummer.

I will probably end up using them on some shirts or non-exclusive esign tasks somewhere down the road.

Good I pulled those.

If this user is trying to sell designs found in a "logo maker" software, then he/she really does not understand this website rules and/or the principles of design. From the software intro: "You don’t have to be a professional logo designer to make high-quality company logo". Clearly.

admin's picture

Well, the only similarity is the concept, but it's a sea shell for a natural product. I think it's quite possible it's co-evolution.

Spintherism's picture

FakeFinder, for your information: Submitting to two websites is not against the rules (it is risky, but tolerated). The only thing is that the designer must make sure, after a logo sale, to take down all other instances of said logo. So the risk is if the designer is not fast enough a second sale could potentially be made.

You found three, but there are hundreds of logos that are for sale in more than one website...

admin's picture

It's not a match really, just a similar position I think.

markrtid's picture

With the utmost of respect Ivan I have to ask, how can you not see the comparison?

The proportions of the mermaid are exact.
From the fin to the waist, the image is exactly the same as the clipart. The open area from the waist to the arm is exact.
Yes you can alter a curve or two but at the end of the day it isn't original artwork. Sorry.

paint.box's picture

The first image was exactly the same (except the hair), after that the user change it several times.

Jon Askill's picture

Adapted just enough unfortunately, but i'd bet that the designer used the stock image as a starting point...

you think anyone would buy that for a 1200 dollars?...in any case I think it is not a "copy", maybe inspired. In that contest there were plenty of designs that look like this one

I don't think it's a violation, although it's definitely a 'kerning law' violation... ;)

Pay $1200 and your 'designer' comes up with kerning like that? Unbelievable!!!

If you look carefully there's a Stocklogos watermark in that logo on that website.

AKMulligan's picture

Definitely. This belongs in the "unsold logos in use" thread, not here.

NancyCarterDesign's picture

Yeah -- I think the logo is a simple enough concept that it could be a coincidence on the stock example and that the logo on the other site is stolen from here. This designer has not caused probs before that I can think of.

ghostd7's picture

Water drop, leaf zen - all over done and the chance this being done before is big. The only difference between the stock and the logo here is graphics of the leaf and the drop themeself. But the concept is not original. It took me half a minute to find similar stock. Nothing against the designer.

MigueloiKo's picture

I have a question, when they take an image and then make it a vector, is it ok? like in this example:

http://stocklogos.com/contest/where-park/102346
http://garcya.us/15-sports-cars-in-vector/

Spintherism's picture

It is okay only if the designer owns the copyright to the image, which I really doubt in this particular case. Anyway, this is an existing identifiable product: Porsche Cayman. So, this logo violates two of the rules:
"4. Do not include an existing identifiable product, imitate the design or style of an existing product or packaging"
"6. If you trace images you must own copyright to the images"

By the way, logo contributor: http://stocklogos.com/user/franpatron

Peace,

Spintherism.

The one above was done from memory. But normally I use the Search by Image Chrome Extension.

Yes, potentially. Removed.

I'm not sure about this one. It's obviously a known symbol, but perhaps here the value is in the proportions and the way the gradients are constructed.

KLAPPER's picture

This symbol has been repeated and repeatedly entered and try to sell, whether a symbol can be used as a logo,,, means everyone can use the symbol as their logo,, isn't creative

Ivan, you know very that there's exact copy of this out there on clipart sites. I wonder why do you argue instead of deleting clipart and banning users. I already reported clipart winning design for the autofreight contest. What happened there? You let the client to use the services of stocklogos and leave with clipart? You won't get any further if you start alloowing this to happen.

admin's picture

You are right guys. I gave the designer a warning.
